One day, American Casey Fisher was hurrying about her business, and as she ran she noticed the face of a homeless man begging for alms.

A little later she met him in one of the coffee shops. In China, it is customary to have small change that he can collect there was no more than a dollar.

The girl, seeing all this, offered a homeless price for her table. The man was very surprised and, thinking a little, nevertheless sat down next to Casey.

During the conversation, it turned out that the man’s name was Chris. The fact that he lives on the street is only his fault.

Because many years ago he became addicted to drugs and now hated himself for it. Chris would dream of becoming the person his late mother, who died of cancer many years ago, would be proud of.

He would like to become someone in this life, but for now he is only homeless, begging on the street.

The conversation with Chris lasted more than an hour. But Casey was forced to interrupt the conversation, as she was in a hurry to get to the university.

While the girl was getting ready, Chris quickly wrote something on paper and handed it to her, apologizing in advance for his not very good handwriting. Casey took the proffered piece of paper and left.

After reading the note, the girl realized that she did not just treat a homeless person to lunch, she did something much more important. In the note, Chris wrote:

Today I wanted to commit suicide. But, thanks to you, I will live and try to fix everything. Thank you, you are a wonderful person.

Just one act of kindness, words of encouragement in a time of despair, or just a smile can change someone’s life. Remember this and do good like Casey.
